Episode Details

Auburn Tigers football fans have reasons to celebrate this offseason. Despite losing nearly forty players to the transfer portal, new head coach Alex Golesh has revamped the roster impressively. One notable addition is running back Nykahi Davenport, ranked seventh on PFFs list of impactful transfer running backs. Davenport, who earned an 83.9 grade, is poised to make a significant impact for the Tigers in 2023.

Davenport, a six-foot, two hundred sixteen-pound back, had a strong sophomore year at South Florida, rushing for six hundred twelve yards and seven touchdowns, averaging six point two yards per carry. He also forced missed tackles at a rate of zero point three four per attempt, impressing PFF.

Auburns running back depth is equally impressive, with Davenport potentially not cracking the top two spots behind returning star Jeremiah Cobb and Baylor transfer Bryson Washington. The group, dubbed a hydra by fans and analysts, includes threats like former five-star Alvin Henderson, Troy transfer Tae Meadows, and rushing quarterback Byrum Brown.

Coach Golesh has expressed his intention to run a run-heavy attack, with this talented group set to dominate the SEC. The stage is set for an exciting season ahead.
